(62,325 posts)In the current climate in this country where people have begun to wake up to the fact that the wealthy have been buying elections, I've said this before, Democrats should USE the Corporate funding Romney is getting to appeal to the people and then talk a lot about 'taking the money out of politics'.
They should make all that money flowing to Romney a chain around his neck, and ask at every opportunity, 'who is he going to be representing'? Then point to his many, many far right policies from his primary campaign to prove whose side he is on.
I think Democrats should challenge him to refuse some of that money to prove he will not be beholden to Corporate America. Make as big an issue as possible out of 'Romney's Money' and his huge Corporate donations. One thing the general population appears to agree on is that Wall Street destroyed this country's economy and they want accountability in every poll that has been taken.
If Obama points out that his former donors are worried he might hold them accountable and are looking to Romney for protection, that would be a good way to bring back some who are not overly enthusiastic about any politicians at this point.
